Preface

The PRIMERGY RX300 S6 rack server is a universal and high-performance
platform designed for a whole range of application areas in data center and
server farm concepts. The system was developed specifically for configurations
with multiple servers (clusters), front-end solutions, e-commerce applications
and ERP solutions. The PRIMERGY RX300 S6 is ideal for applications and
operational areas that require maximum scalability, performance and availability
in a space-saving rack cabinet.
The PRIMERGY RX300 S6 offers a balanced architecture that incorporates
next generation main memory (DDR3) and I/O technologies (PCIe Gen2). The
backplanes for 6*3,5", 8*2,5" and 12*2,5'' hard disk drives are already provided
for SAS 2.0 and 6 Gbit/s SAS and the chipset prepared for the next generation
of 6-core processors. High performance, scalability, impressive reliability and
excellent extension options are combined in a powerful design.
The Cool-safe™ cooling concept with improved air flow cooling technology
(honeycomb design) ensures the highest possible performance of the
processors at work; at the same time, the system is extremely reliable thanks to
the reduced heat dissipation.
The server occupies just two height units (HU) in the rack.
RX300 S6 also exists as "carrier grade" version for telecommunication
application and wil l be called "RX300 S6 CG". This version is based on a 8*2,5"
variant with one or two 48 V power supply and 10 fans implemented.
